Help Fantasy flight help us!

Alright, now that we have a week one update it seems like they want us to talk about regiment creation! Honestly I love the system, but "Hunter killer" seems a bit underpowered… sure you get a vehicle, but unlike most vehicle regiments thats ALL you get?

And Warrior wepons, I love the idea of feudalism guard. But it seems like it would be better AND cheeper to just add the gear latter on? or just take hardened fighters?

Firstly, it might be helpful to edit your title to something more descriptive. FFG is supposed to have overview of all threads here so they can find stuff.

Firstly, I wonder if it's supposed to be "one sentinel Walker [per squad] or one Hellhound Support Tank per squad" or if everyone gets a sentinel if that is chosen. The latter would fit more with how everyone gets Operate (Surface) - and if you're trying to rush with the sentinel, leaving your mudsloggers behind isn't exactly brilliant tactics either.
Apart from that, however, I don't think you'd really need much more equipment. You do get the Universal Standard Kit after all and you're not supposed to be out of your vehicle much either. And from what little is written about strategy, you don't necessarily need the tankers' maintenance toolkit either. If you get bogged down in heavy combat, you've already lost. Wait behind the lines for your call, move forward, kill whatever you're here to kill and pull back before the enemy breaks out the anti-armour weaponry. Retreat to the next depot for rearming and maintenance, repeat.

I'll second that, I started my own thread on this topic because I didn't recognize this one.
